What Are The Reasons Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

It’s great, you’ve found an apartment that appears like it meets all the criteria. A real estate agent believes it is solidly constructed and your DIY expert friend says it looks nice. Should you really get it checked out?

If you are buying a home without conducting a pre purchase inspection, not only could you find yourself with some expensive problems that could have been identified, you may severely limit the ability to claim damages if the house has an issue of significant importance.

A pre-purchase inspection report by a certified Waipatu building inspector will show up any defects the property has, as well as any potential issues and highlight the areas where you are able to add value. It makes sure that house buyers do not face any nasty unexpected costs and offers you an opportunity to negotiate lower cost.

We check the entire property and look for any serious flaws and any urgent maintenance problems and issues caused by gradual deterioration. We check for structural issues or signs that the building is in need of repair, issues caused by deferred maintenance such as weatherboards rotting due to peeling paint or areas with damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Any of the following could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if the home was built or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this piping, in the event that you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: The weatherboard is known for its leaks. If your home was constructed in the early 80s , it may have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: It was popular from the late 1980s through the mid 2000s Many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have an unbroken or smooth finish.

Asbestos building materials: Used widely from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It could be found placed on roofs, ceilings, under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found at an address, you should seek out expert advice about the risks it poses, the very best way it can be removed how long it will require to remove, as well as the cost of removal.
